Denver Schools Bring Police Back into the Mix After School Shooting

[Saucy]

Mar. 22—In light of yet another shooting at East High School, the topic of school resource officers from Denver police in schools again moved front and center.

In June 2020, the Denver School Board unanimously voted to cut ties with Denver Police, following the murder of George Floyd.

But Denver Superintendent Alex Marrero told the Denver Gazette's news partners Chalkbeat Colorado Wednesday he will have an armed officer at each of the district's comprehensive high schools — a step that he acknowledges likely violates school board policy.

This is very interesting and it proves two points.

1) The anti-police rhetoric embraced by the Democratic party after the murder of George Floyd was and continues to be absurd.
2) To solve the issue of school shootings, gun control, safe spaces, gun-free zones, etc, does NOTHING to prevent them.

Crime continues to skyrocket and it's 100% a result of Democratic policies. They are making it so the police are the bad guys while taking a soft stance on the actual criminals doing the crime. It appears it's backfiring and schools consider the police a vital tool to keep their kids safe.

On the first point, I agree that the extreme position ("we have no need for police") is definitely absurd - much like most extreme positions. However, there are genuine problems with the police in America, and they've been pushed into roles that they're not well-suited for. Reform and perhaps a redistribution of authority is still needed.

On the second point, safe spaces and gun-free-zones don't do a lot on their own. Actual gun control - restricting the availability and number of firearms in the country - is also needed. Unfortunately, endorsing anything along those lines is more or less political suicide outside of safe Democratic seats.

I've already put up sources before that showed that resources officers have at 0 impact in the event of school shootings. 0. They do nothing. You will remember that the officer in Parkland hid. You remember that like, 15 police officers hid in Uvalade.

This is a pronouncement with 0 evidence....so I'm not really convinced. Do you have anything to actually support that?

The only thing at this point that would make meaningful dents in America's gun problem would be meaningful gun control legislation but it's been established it will NEVER happen.

Republicans have 0 meaningful solutions and Democrats could NEVER pass what would need to happen.

Best o luck. Sending your kids to school in America must feel a bit like the Hunger Games sometimes.
